10 things to consider before upgrading your DVR to high definition. I personally am waiting awhile before I need my recording in HD. Reason 1 below is why.

1) Are you cheap? This is the biggest and most important question. Admit it, you’re cheap. Hell, I’m pretty cheap too. Do you really need to spend $500 or $2000 for a system only to have to keep on paying rental or subscription fees of nearly $100 a month? Do you really want to watch that much TV? If not, then renting a HD DVR from your cable company or building your own Myth TV or XP Media Center Edition box with an over the air (OTA) HD recorder could be for you.
